Name.com security breach -- all passwords reset -- emails and credit
card info potentially accessed
http://j.mp/11kBuxI (TNW)
Internet registrar Name.com on Wednesday revealed it was hit by a
security breach. The company sent an email to its customers informing
them that their usernames, email addresses, passwords, and credit card
account information "may have been accessed by unauthorized
individuals." The good news is that the last two were encrypted,
according to Name.com's email.
